The police have arrested 15 people, including a National Congress Party (NCP) worker, for violence during the bandh for Maratha reservation at Chakan early this week. The arrested persons were produced before the chief judicial magistrate (CJM) in Khed on Thursday, and remanded in police custody till August 9. Three minor boys were detained for the same.

When the CJM asked if they have anything to say, most of the arrested complained against police. The defence lawyers argued that most of those arrested were students and not involved in the incident.
